Msilnp of six members, ono to bo
dotted from each congressional
district with tho state superinten
dent ox offlclo member and secre-
'"state Superintendent Taylor and
Ceorge V. Hoaenlof, director ot
Kioudary education and tcachoi
training, presented tho bill, not,
they stated, as advocates, but for
Hie purpo.30 of explaining whni
other states havo done. Mr. Tay
lor corrected a newspaper head
line to tho effect that his offlco
was dipping Into tho lcgtslatlvb
life. He said that some states havo
discovered that elimination ot edu
cational effort In duplicate has
been worth while. He Rsked, ho
said, only that Mr. Kosenlof be
heard on the subject ot unifies"
control.
Alto Denies Interest.
The director of secondary edu
cation also made It known that he
does not assume responsibility for
the fathering of tho bill. Ho did
not wish, ho said, to be considered
for or against. He added that his
sole purpose is to submit facta and
experiences of other states where
tho unified plan has been tried
out. He discussed the system of
co ordination of Interests of higher
education under one head at con
siderable length and quoted exten
sively from educational authorities
of other states. Twenty-four states,
he said, havo some form of co-ordinated
control. Kansas and Iowa
he listed as having absolute unified
control.
Ono criticism, he said, Is that the
teacher training schools or state
normals of Nebraska have separate
interests from tho state university.
He added that, In his Judgment, the
interests of the four normals are
not greatly different than those of
the university In view of the fact
that the university has a training
school for teachers.
Tho state board of control, he
said, operates a dozen or more
ponal and charitable institutions
and has cared for two educational
Institutions. He discussed the
problem of endeavoring to co-op-crato
in tho carrying out of a state
educational program, of bettering
Inter-relationship in matter 0
credit allowance and suggested
that a harmonious scheme has been
found preferable to educational
strife.
Chancellor Burnett said that Mr.
Itosmdof dealt mainly with the
theoretical situation rather than as
it actually exists In Nebraska. As
to standards, he would like to see,
he said, higher standards at the
university. As to the matter of
credits, he said that If the other
schools of the Rtate prove that their
courses are comparable to those of
the university, such credits are
honored.
Decided Advantage.
In commending the efficiency of
the board of regents, the chancel
lor said that a decided advantage
had governed since the beginning
In that regents are unpaid.
"Members of the board," he said,
"have served at a decided financial
loss. They have served for a dis
tinctive honor. When you attach
mouey, men become Interested In
the office because of the salary. If
you pay members of a board, as i3
proposed, the f 10 per diem Is too
low. I suspect you will need to
provldo substantial salaries to in
vite men who are fitted by training
lo serve and glvo full time."
Ho said that In lowo, the cost of
maintaining the educational board
fur one blenhium was $65,569, while
the entire cost for the unlvorslty
board of regents to tho state for
he same period, 1D27 and 1928, was 1
but 53,590.98. The chancellor dld
not criticize the proposed unifica
tion. Iowa, he said, apparently is
satisfied with the plan altho the
president of Ames resigned because
ho believed that board's primary In
terest was in the state university.
President Martin of the Kearney
normal expressed fear that any re
adjustment such as the bill pro
poses will prove harmful. Tho mat
ter of interchange of credits, he
fc&id. Is being nicely handled thru
conferences.
Sees Danger Ahead.
T. F. Hamcr of Kearney, member
or the state normal board, sees
danger ahead thru adoption of any
such unified system.
"Jt would," he said, "result in a
face between institutions for repre
sentation on the board. Everything
Is harmonious now. I cannot see
bow wo can better conditions by
centralizing powers of administra
tion. I believe that danger lurk3 in
any such plan."

Oar Policy of Co-operation
THK splendid prosress of the Missouri Pacific Lines In tb
last live Tears has been achieved very largely as
result of: First, the aggressive loyally nnd endless, tireless
effort on the part of mir army of employes; Second, tho co
operation and support of the public generally and the shlpplne
and traveling public especially, nnd: Third, (nindc possible
because of the former two things) the Investment of many
millions of dollars of new capital.
The new capital was obtained because of the increasing
volume of traffic which justified It. And the increasing traffic
is directly iraceble to the wort of our employes, adequate
service and the confidence ot the public. Both ot these are,
In large measure, a result of the "Wide Qpn Policy" that has
been zealously maintained.
There can be nothing secret about the management n
operation of railroads becnuse of the regulation and super
vision to which they are subjected by numerous governmental
and official bodies such as the Interstate Commerce Comrals,
slon, State Railroad Commissions and similar institutions. But
we have not been content to merely say "the information I
there and Is available if the public wanr it."
Ceaselcas effort lias been mnde to inform both wr
thousands of employes and the public. Every phase of the
railroad business has been analyzed and broadcast. Our own
forces are constantly combing our property for general, specific
and miscellaneous Information that will or might interest our
own famllv member or our patrons and friends. Such in
formation Is carefully collected, Intelligently
prepared in easily understandable form, and distributed
voluntarily in every possible way.
U a result of this policy our own employes are as well
Informed us any in the world and the public generally knows
more about the Missouri Paetfle Lines than is known of mon
such similar Institutions. Confidence, co-operation and support
have resulted-and those three reactions op the part ot our
natrons nnd our own family members have made possible the
development of the Missouri Pacific Lines into one ot the
outstanding railroads of the world.
The Mlaso'Tl Pacific has welcomed and encouraged the
public to come to some of us with any and all questions
elating to transportation. If the individual Missouri Pacific
man or woman approached doesn't know the answer to your
question be will get in touch with or put yon In touch with
enmcone in our organization that does know It.
We are most happy In the knowledge of the achtce.
ment. already accomplished and It Is a real P" ' b"1
the credit for the advancement where that credit belongs. N e
have bv no means reached the limit of onr development. We
expect'lo continue leading tbe Parade of Progress.
I solicit your co-operation nnd support.
